Change the message during force

[Kavita Golwalkar]

Hi,

I have started exploring copybara for incorporating in larger project.

So I executed -

java -jar bazel-bin/java/com/google/copybara/copybara_deploy.jar copy.bara.sky --force

In destination repository I see commit message as -

Project import generated by Copybara.

Is there a way to change this message during initial copy ?

Regards,

Kavita

Found the resolution to this.

Initial message is hard coded, so not possible to override the same.

Only option is to change message in code.

You should be able to use the metadata.replace_message transform to change the message.
